1. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 2, 2011 8:26 AM (in response to yf38)
After a lot of trials my understanding of the new feature "enable / disable hot swap capability" is the following:
1) For internal ports (0,1,2,3)
- If there is something plugged in a port at startup, then it appears as a channel # (Microsoft driver) or a port # (Intel driver) with the device connected.
If hot swap is enabled for this port then we get the device in "remove safely" list. (observed for port 0, this is not true for port 3).
- If nothing is connected to a port at startup, then it does'nt appear in the port / channel list and inserting a device has no effect, even if hot swap is enabled. It is not even possible to try to "search for new hardware", the port does not exist, (hidden, with not connected status, observed for port 3).
2) For e-sata ports (4,5)
If hot swap is enabled, the port appears in channel / port list (with an empty content ), and inserting a device works as supposed to do.
If hotswap is disabled they just work as internal ports (no port in the port list, inserting a device has no effect ).
In summary with this new "feature"
- We loose the possibility to hot swap internal devices (a problem for hot swap racks), which was possible with bios 110.
- We get the capability to lock the use of e-sata ports. Should we consider this as an improvement for security, or a side effect ?
There are also some strange possibilities like to have an internal device in "remove safely" list provided it was present at startup. (did'nt check if we can really unplug it and then hot plug it !).
It is difficult to consider that this behaviour what was targeted by the design team.
Operating system: windows 7 x64 SP1 all updates. Intel drivers all latest, no expansion cards, 8GB RAM.

Maybe nobody had the opportunity to observe the behaviours I described above, so may I ask the question differently:
Does anybody know where I can find the description of the behaviour of the 6 sata ports of a H67 chipset, for what concern the new function introduced in bios 119 to enable or disable individualy hot swap on the six sata ports.
Yes, the name of the function should be self-descriptive, but it appears that it is not, so I am searching for some specification (and the bios release notes give no informations).

Perhaps when there are 10x as many visitors to the forums we will see more discussion. Though not using this board or raid I have interest in changes made in the last few months for hard drive detection. My only suggestion is that it could be related to the power and interface cables being separately detected. The rack you mention would presumably change the connections simultaneously.
4. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 5, 2011 11:10 AM (in response to Curious592)
Hi Curious,
Thanks to come and maybe give some ideas, I felt a little bit alone.
The issue I am discussing is new and related to bios change from 110 to 119 where Intel introduced the hot swap enable feature, choice not available at all before.
This is the full history, if you have time to read:
At the begining, up to bios 110, I was using only two internal disks (0,1) and the backplate e-sata port (5), and port 2 for the optical drive.
Then, when with bios 110, I added an Antec e-sata rack. This is only a purely passive internal dock with a single two sided connector, one side for internal cables, one side for a bare drive to be plugged in, and it is perfectly running with the internal e-sata port 4.
At this time I was using Intel RST driver (AHCI only) .
I tried removing Intel RST and using Windows 7x64 AHCI driver, and was surprised to discover my internal disks appearing in the "safely remove" list in the task bar.
This gave me the idea to connect port 3 to the Antec e-sata rack, and saw it was possible to insert a disk, automaticaly discovered, added to the safely remove list, in summary hotswap was possible on port 3 (internal, not specified e-sata).
However it was not very pleasant to see my two internal HDD in the safely remove list. with this driver.
Then, just few days after, a new bios 119 came, with a wonderfull feature to enable or not hotswap, port by port, just like if they read in my mind that I would like to remove the two internal HDD of the "remove safely list", and it was the case !
Unfortunatly I was quickly disappointed to discover that It was no more possible to use port 3 as hot swap port, even hotswap enabled.
It looks like, internal ports, at least port 3 are set as port disabled (a feature of H67) by the bios when there is no device connected at startup.
For e-sata port 4,5 this is only if they are set as hotswap disable (probably intended to lock access to e-sata ports)
For internal ports (2,3) hotswap disabled or enabled, if no disk present at startup the ports are disabled, and there is no way to insert a disk and even make it discovered neither automaticaly nor manualy (search new hardware).
Because the port is disabled at bios level there is no way for Windows to discover a disk connected to it.
This is the issue for me compared to bios 110 behaviour.
For port 0,1 (6GB/s) I did not investigate a lot, however now, the fact that they appear or not in "safely remove" is following the hotswap enabling in bios.
I have to check leaving one of these two ports empty if they are hotswap capable, probably not.
Now, the question for me is to understand if this behaviour is the one that Intel bios team decided to enforce, or if there are some fixes to come to be more flexible like it was the case with bios 110.
I have also to check in sata specification, if hot swap (not speaking of e-sata) with internal disks is a mandatory feature or an option,
Of course I can go back to bios 110 ( recovery process mandatory... but I know it, I applied several times with my DG45iD) but I dont like to go backward with bios.
Instead, I use internal e-sata port (4) for the rack and it's OK, but I loose e-sata port on front panel.
5. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureCurious592 Jun 5, 2011 12:17 PM (in response to yf38)
I had expected to having a similar system by now but returned to IDE. I now recall the connection issue dealt with some pins needing to be longer for proper Hot Swap detection. I have seen some reports of e-SATA connectivity being limited to certain ports and I suspect your current setup is likely the best, albeit without front panel connectivity. That could be updated by BIOS at some time. Without having a reference, I use ports 0 and 1 for the boot drive and optical drive.
The detection issue may involve the OS as well. Although the Initialization screen I encountered for my last two drive additions as backups has been reported at least 5 years ago, I had not previously seen it. Others have also indicated that new drives seem to expected to be added for migration of the OS. While the movement of my system partition to one added drive may have involved BIOS mismatch and/or power w/o interface connection both drives encountered problems (different systems). Mention has been made of downgrade of drives to cheaper components w/o changing the names of the drives. I'd like to know if the OS, system or drives are the problem. The issue of degradation of drive detection with the 6-series boards came out at the same time as my problems.
I hope you resolve this issue since I routinely disable drives. The only response from Microsoft indicated this was a bad idea. I assume there can be a problem matching the disabled state if the drive is removed but the response only mentioned data security. You probably don't have the issue of moving a drive to another system, in which case a number (GUID?) is added to the root of the boot drive. Wikipedia has an article on hot swap/hot plugging that points out some distinctions.
6. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureCurious592 Jun 5, 2011 12:48 PM (in response to yf38)
When in doubt change your cables. I have marked the SATA III (round) cable used for the two bad installations as defective since replacing it with an old cable stabilized the sytem. I'm currently using another round cable on a backup drive w/o problem.
7. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 5, 2011 1:03 PM (in response to Curious592)
I am using the same model of Antec Easy-sata rack on another system with DG45iD (bios 135) and the behaviour is different.
With DG45iD ICH10R internal sata ports, inserting a disk is not detected, but I can make it discovered by windows 7 using search for new hardware, because the port is not disabled by bios (maybe the feature does not exist with ich10).
Then the disk is available, but not appearing in "remove safely" I have to use a well known freeware named hotswap! to get a similar functionality to remove safely.
This is better than nothing because there is no internal e-sata port on DG45iD. (external e-sata is ok).
I use the same bare disk with both systems for backup (both windows 7x64), not using Microsoft backup embedded in windows 7, instead I use Acronis True Image, syncback freeware, or just copy with explorer, and I have no issue to share the disk and the data.
DH67GD is better than DG45iD and H67 chipset seems to have better capability for hot swap, provided Intel does not lock the feature from one bios to the next one, or explain why, if it is required for some reason.
No problem with cables, just with bios.
8. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureCurious592 Jun 5, 2011 3:12 PM (in response to yf38)
I almost bought the Antec rack when I got my 1TB drive. This makes more sense now with your explanation.
The safely remove feature should become available with a Win 7 update or Win 8 with appropriate busses. Vista was unpredictable in sometimes requiring the drive component (named) rather than the mass storage device be selected for safe removal. In order for that to work it should be listed in the BIOS as a removable device. That confused me if a standard SATA port is being used so the internal e-SATA port must be required. Users must have been using the hotswap! freeware you mention. I would prefer not to have to connect the e-SATA cable connection to the motherboard for safe removal capability since that would limit me to 3 hard drives on one DG45ID.
The comparison of backup software I read made me conclude Acronis was best except for always running. I only create images through Windows and it works fine. Not sure who provides it to MS.
9. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 6, 2011 3:58 AM (in response to Curious592)
I got the (crazy) solution.
First I set all ports to hot swap enabled, and use Microsoft windows 7 x64 AHCI sata drivers.
Checking port 1 behaviour I saw that hot swap with port 1 was fonctional. (ok with my Antec rack, and even live plugging an internal drive cable).
Then I removed the optical drive from port 2, and I saw that port 2 was still appearing in ATA channel list while port 3 does not, when nothing is plugged in.
So I changed the optical disk from port 2 to port 3 and got port 2 for the Antec rack.
And then everything is ok, optical drive is still running, because present at startup, Antec rack is hotswap with port 2, e-sata port 4 is available for Antec rack front panel, and I 6GB/s ports are hot swap if needed with the Antec rack.
Drives detected at hot plug appear in "remove safely".
For my internal drives I set hot swap disable to avoid them from the remove list.
In summary, with Windows 7x64 provided sata drivers all seems ok.
I have to check with Intel RST to verify if the behaviour is now the same.
Maybe if you are thinking to go toward such a board with windows 7 and the hotswap capability you can do it now.
What to conclude ?
Either this problem if a rev. B2 marginal problem, with all B2 or my own board only, or it is a stealth issue in bios 119 specific for port 3.
Is there somebody with DH67GD (or DH67BL, DH67CL) with bios 119, using windows 7 drivers only, who can check if port 3 is present in device manager list where the six ATA channel are listed, when there is nothing plugged in.
I am also waiting for a new DH67GD-B3 and tell you what I observe when installed.

Good Morning yf38 - I have a DH67CL board with v.019 BIOS and can confirm that Port 3 is not present in the Device Managers List when SATA Ports 0,1,2,4, and 5 are in use and 3 is vacant. I have all WIN 7 drivers.
By the way - I installed a SATA HDD this morning and a drive temperature line appeared on my IDU. Still have the Other/Unknown line with the now silent alarm. Regards. Peter
11. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 6, 2011 8:42 AM (in response to pwertz)
Good morning Peter, for me it's ... 4PM (France).
Thanks for your answer to my strange question.
If port 3 is also not present with your system in the ATA channel list of Windows 7 device manager (using windows 7 driver) when nothing is plugged in, instead of being present and saying that this device is working well, it means that you see the same strange thing as me with my DH67GD.
Probably now, if you do similar trials as I did, if you have any interest in hot swap, you should observe the same behaviour.
You can also simply observe that, if you disconnect a device from one port other than 3 this port stays present in device manager, on the contrary of port 3, and if you plug a device in port 3 before startup, port 3 will reappear (and work).
For me this strange problem seems strongly related to a mistake in bios 119. (in bold to catch Intel people attention, if any there).
For what concern your unknown IDU temp, there are good "chances" that it is related to the SSD.
12. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 7, 2011 6:32 AM (in response to yf38)
The ultimate simplest test, before upgrading to bios 122
Let port 2 and port 3 empty, look and see at device manager that sata 2 port appears in ATA channel list, and not port 3.
To do this I removed the optical drive, and only port 0,1 where populated with disks.
Upgrade to bios 122 done, same result, bios 122 release notes dont speek about this issue, nothing was changed.
13. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureCurious592 Jun 7, 2011 10:05 AM (in response to yf38)
I looked at the board diagram and see the top port is eSATA (3GB/s) and bottom 2 ports are 6GB/s with 2 3GB/s ports in the middle. When you have the Antec rack with a drive installed it is on the top port and you do not have the e-SATA cable (for front external e-SATA) from the rack connected. Correct? Is the e-SATA drive listed as a removable drive in the BIOS?
14. Re: DH67GD bios 119 new sata hotswap enable disable featureyf38 Jun 7, 2011 10:26 AM (in response to Curious592)
What you describe was the first solution when I found that port 3 (one of the two black in the middle) is no hot swap capable.
Then I found that port 2, the other 3GB/s is hot swap capable, I moved my optical drive to port 3 (which is good for devices present at startup), and plugged the Antec rack hot swap connector into port 2.
This made free the true e-sata port 4 which receive now the Antec cable for front panel e-sata.
My final setting is:
0,1 : two HDD's
2: Antec rack, for hot swap pluggable bare disk
3: Optical drive
4: Antec cable for front panel e-sata
5: e-sata backplate connector
All works perfectly, except this is using a workaround to avoid port 3 problem.
All the six ports are in the bios with a choice to enable or not hot swap.
The normal setting should be to disable hotswap for true internal drives and enable it for e-sata ports and the port for internal hot swap rack.
It is also possible to use 6Gb/s ports as hotswap port, I tried this with Antec rack and port 1 and it is OK.

Focusing on Battleground Ohio… The campaigns release two new TV ads summing up their messages in the Buckeye State… On Romney's tax returns… On Obama's do-no-harm week… Dueling "60 Minutes" interviews served as a debate preview of sorts… And both campaigns treated them like debates, with their rapid-response teams in high alert… And don't' forget: Todd Akin's deadline to withdraw from Missouri's Senate race is tomorrow.

President Barack Obama speaks to supporters during a campaign rally on September 22, 2012 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
*** Battleground Ohio: On Sunday, the University of Cincinnati poll became the latest survey to show Mitt Romney trailing in the Buckeye State -- and perhaps more importantly, President Obama hitting 50% or more there. According to the poll, Obama leads Romney by five points among likely voters in the state, 51%-46%, which is close to what our recent NBC/WSJ/Marist poll of Ohio showed, 50%-43%. And here's the reality for the GOP in this almost must-win state for them: Right now, you could argue that Obama is in a stronger position in North Carolina (his most challenging battleground state) than Romney is in Ohio (a state that EVERY victorious Republican presidential nominee has won). And this is why the GOP ticket is blitzing through the Buckeye State this week -- as if the 2012 campaign depended on it, because, well, it does. Running mate Paul Ryan today starts off an Ohio bus tour by stumping in Lima at 3:10 pm ET. Romney joins him in Vandalia on Tuesday, and then the presidential nominee stumps in Westerville and Toledo on Wednesday. But that's not all the campaigning in Ohio this week. On the Democratic side, Obama hits the state on Wednesday, and the DNC has its own bus tour bracketing the GOP ticket.
*** The campaigns' latest TV ads: Also tied to the Romney campaign's bus tour through Ohio is an exchange of TV ads by the campaigns that's really almost exclusively about Ohio and its white working-class swing voting population. The Obama campaign is airing a new TV ad in the state that seizes on Romney's "47%" remarks. "Mitt Romney attacked 47% of Americans who pay no income tax, including veterans, elderly, the disabled," the ad begins. "Doesn't the President have to worry about everyone? Mitt Romney paid just 14.1% in taxes last year. He keeps millions in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. He won't release his tax returns before 2010." And it concludes, "Maybe instead of attacking others on taxes, Romney should come clean on his." Meanwhile, the Romney campaign has its own new TV ad that is clearly about these voters, and wants to shift the resentment from himself to China. "Fewer Americans are working today than when President Obama took office. It doesn't have to be this way -- if Obama would stand up to China." The advertisement ends, "Obama had years to stand up to China. We can't afford four more." These two new TV ads pretty much sum up the campaigns' respective strategies when it comes to Ohio: Obama is hitting Romney's personal wealth, and Romney is trying to bash China.
*** On Romney's tax returns: Speaking of Romney's tax returns, he released his 2011 return on Friday, as well as a short summary of the tax rates he paid going back to 1990. The Romney camp's timing was smart -- on its worst week of the campaign, dump all the bad news you can to get everything out of the way. But the campaign also didn't answer all the questions about Romney's past tax returns; the only way to do that would be to release the actual returns, not a short summary. But here's the bottom line about the tax-return issue: The Obama campaign succeeded in making it a talking point and attack (just see its new TV ad), and the Romney camp seems to have succeeded in its goal to not release the actual returns prior to 2010.
*** On Obama's do-no-harm week: When it comes to the UN meetings this week in New York, Obama is playing prevent defense. While he addresses the UN on Tuesday, he isn't holding a single meeting with any world leader (not Israel's Netanyahu, not Egypt's Morsi). But can he fully get away with this strategy? The fact is there are a lot of questions about America's role in the Middle East, how the administration has responded to the uprisings and of course, the unanswered questions surrounding the attack on Ambassador Stevens in Libya. He's avoided questions on this topic beyond generalities. Interestingly, what the president said on "60 Minutes" (an interview taped before the administration had publicly acknowledged al Qaeda's role in Libya), about "bumps in the road" came across as a tad tone deaf. While he may be right in the grand scheme of things, given the current state of the investigation in Libya, we're guessing he wished he hadn't worded things that way.
*** Previewing the debates… : It's nine days until the first presidential debate in Colorado, but last night's dueling (and separate) Obama-Romney interviews on "60 Minutes" served as a preview of sorts for the upcoming debates. Here was Romney on the role of government: "Make government smaller. Don't build these massive deficits that pass debt onto our kids, rebuild the foundation of America's strength with great homes, great schools, with entrepreneurship and innovation. Here was Obama: "I think there's no bigger purpose right now than making sure that if people work hard in this country, they can get ahead. That's the central American idea. That's how we sent a man to the moon. Because there was an economy that worked for everybody and that allowed us to do that. Here was Romney on taxes: "[My plan] would be the current rates less 20%. So the top rate, for instance, would go from 35 to 28. Middle rates would come down by 20% as well. All the rates come down. Here was Obama: "[T]he problem that Gov. Romney has is that he seems to only have one note: tax cuts for the wealthy and rolling back regulations as a recipe for success. Well, we tried that vigorously between 2001 and 2008. And it didn't work out so well."
*** … on role of government, taxes, the deficit, and national security: Also in during his "60 Minutes" interview, Romney said this about tackling the budget deficit: "I'm going to look at every federal program and I'll ask this question, 'Is this … program so critical it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?" And if it doesn't pass that test, I'm going to eliminate the program because we just can't afford to keep spending more money than we take in." Obama said, "[W]e've already cut a trillion dollars of spending. And I've told them I'm prepared to do additional spending cuts and do some entitlement reform. But what I've said is, 'You can't ask me to make student loans higher for kids who need it or ask seniors to pay more for their Medicare or throw people off of health care and not ask somebody like me or Mr. Romney to do anything, not ask us to do a single dime's worth of sacrifice.'" And here was Romney on national security: "I thought that the surge troops [to Afghanistan] should have been brought back in November of this year, not September. I don't think you try and bring back troops during the fighting season. I think that was a mistake. I think it was also a mistake to announce the precise date of our withdrawal." And Obama: I said I'd end the war in Iraq. I did. I said that we'd go after al Qaeda. They've been decimated in the Fatah. That we'd go after bin Laden. He's gone. So I've executed on my foreign policy. And it's one that the American people largely agree with. So if Gov. Romney is suggesting that we should start another war, he should say so.
*** And treating the interviews like they were the debates: Strikingly, both the Romney and Obama campaigns treated last night's "60 Minutes" interview like they were debates. The Romney camp pounced on Obama referring to Israel as "one of our closest allies in the region" instead of THE closest ally. It also seized on the president calling the current unrest in the Muslim world "bumps in the road" after the Arab Spring. For their part, Democrats and the Obama campaign jumped all over Romney saying it was fair that he pays a lower tax rate than other Americans do. By the way, both sides are still doing mock debates. NBC's Garrett Haake reported that Romney did another round with Ohio Sen. Rob Portman on Sunday, while First Read can report that Obama practiced at the DNC on Friday with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (with the first lady in attendance).
*** On the trail: Romney holds a rally in Pueblo, CO at 2:00 pm ET… And Ryan stumps in Lima, OH at 3:10 pm ET.
*** Polling update: Here's a wrap of all the recent polling we've seen: As mentioned above, the University of Cincinnati poll shows Obama up by five points among likely voters in Ohio, 51%-46%... In Florida, a Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9/Mason-Dixon survey has Obama at 48% and Romney at 47%... And there's a national Politico/GWU Battleground poll of likely voters that has Obama at 50% and Romney at 47%.
*** Akin it harder for the GOP: Don't forget: The drop-dead deadline for Todd Akin to withdraw from Missouri's Senate race is tomorrow, and it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere. Today, at 12:30 pm ET, he holds a press conference with Newt Gingrich, who has been defending him.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone feels his team were worthy winners over Sevilla on Thursday night.
The Rojiblancos claimed a 2-1 win over the Andalusian outfit which sees them gain the advantage ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final return leg.
The Madrid giants secured victory thanks to two goals from the penalty spot from Diego Costa while the visitors' away goal also came from the spot courtesy of Alvaro Negredo.
"The result is fair and deserved because we finished the game well, it was a good match," said Simeone at full time.
"We were at our best in the first half and then after the reaction to their equaliser in the second. But, for Sevilla's goal, we conceded because we were in a rush to score at the other end.
"The tie is now 50-50 for each team. The penalties? They were all adjudged to apparently be handballs, and on the cards I cannot judge."
Despite seeing his side defeated, Sevilla boss Unai Emery was left satisfied given that his team ended the match with just nine players.
"The 2-1 is deserved, but when it was 1-1 we were very controlled. The penalty and second red card has meant that we had to take this as a good result for the return leg," he told a press conference after the match.
"From my position it is very difficult to assess whether or not the plays were all penalties.
"I've seen stronger calls and I've seen lighter punishments too, but I do not want to judge anyone, I could not see the moves clearly."We knew that Atletico are having a great season and we had to be very focused to get a result. It was a tough game, very demanding."

IndieCade East 2014 marks the first time the IndieCade Festival has had open submissions for conference sessions, and the response has been incredible. In this series of blog posts, IndieCade East Conference Co-Chairs Margaret Robertson and Kevin Cancienne talk about the themes that inspired them while programming this year's event.
Kevin Cancienne: So one of the first things we talked about when we were planning the conference portion of IndieCade East was the idea of pulling the camera back a bit on the indie scene as we know it. The past several years have seen such an incredible explosion of creativity and interest in the output from what we call "Indie Games," but at the same time, there's a growing sense that the dominant story is only capturing part of the picture, and may be excluding all kinds of interesting people and work.
Margaret Robertson: There's so much focus now on platforms like Steam and iOS, that it's easy to forget there are many earlier generations of indie game makers, working with very different technologies and in very different fields. Laine Nooney's session is a wonderful example of this. She studies videogame archeology and her talk looks back at the Apple II dev scene - back to a time when pioneers behind independent developers like Sierra and Broderbund were getting started as engineers moonlighting from their day-jobs.
Kevin: "Videogame archeology" is such an amazing term. I think we were attracted to digging things up. One of the things I know I'm personally interested in is establishing whether this moment in game history is more than just a bubble or a fad. It seems like looking backward at our roots and understanding that individuals and small teams have been making games for quite a long time is a pretty good way to envision a future that extends beyond the currently popular platforms or business models.
Margaret: For me, it was also really interesting from a design perspective to hear about game designers and specific games that I wasn't familiar with. It feels like there's a lot of indie history that we've forgotten to learn from - design approaches, specific mechanics, whole subject matters, even - that aren't part of current design conversations. Game design is always iterative, and it's really exciting to think that there are whole tranches of independent game making that we haven't been drawing on.
Kevin: Absolutely. It's also interesting to look at work that wasn't necessarily consciously "indie" in light of what we now know or believe about games, and see that work in a new light. Pete Vigeant's talk on adventure education pioneer Karl Rohnke comes to mind there.
Margaret: Right - I don't even know if Rohnke would have self-identified as a game designer, let alone an as 'indie', but his work feels incredibly relevant to people making real-world game experiences today.
Rohnke's also really interesting in terms of how his independent design work fed into corporate team-building culture. When we talk about indie we're often thinking about a small team selling a game direct to their players, but lots of independent developers sustain themselves with corporately funded work.
Kevin: That's a great point. Talking about "business models" sounds dry and kind of creepy sometimes, but with an eye toward broadening perspectives, I think it often makes sense to acknowledge that how (and whether) game makers manage to support themselves financially can have a huge impact on what their work looks like.
Margaret: Absolutely - those shifts in business culture are a really important creative force. Talking with Josh Lee about his session on hobbyist gaming magazines really pointed that up. On one level we have this really accessible maker culture now - almost anyone can sign up for an Apple developer account, make something and put it up for sale. But on another level we're really locked out of the machines we use, and really influenced by those platform-holder gatekeepers. It was really invigorating to be reminded of a time when playing a new game started with reading the code for it in a magazine - where we didn't draw lines between makers and players, or modders and players, and where everything was inherently open-source and tinkerable.
Kevin: Yeah, as an old guy, I remember those magazines that had pages and pages of code you could type in to magically (if you typed it all correctly) turn into a game. And messing with that kind of stuff is probably technically the first game programming I ever did. Stuff like Josh's magazine talk tickles the nostalgia bone a bit—I know even Josh was excited/terrified about the eBay shopping spree he was about to go on—but I think choosing to focus on indie history is more than just an exercise in feel-good "back in the day" reminiscence.
Julia Keren-Detar's looking way back, for example, and I think there are all kinds of interesting conclusions she's managing to draw from her research into the history of board games and folk stories.
Margaret: Right - she's really taking the long perspective seriously - it's not often I get to have a game design conversation that starts in the middle ages.
Kevin: And not to get too highfalutin about it, but I think that kind of perspective fits in really well with questions about the sustainability of the indie games movement. Julia's talking about games that have existed for hundreds of years. That's a form of success that few game makers seem even willing to envision, but it's fascinating to imagine people making work with that kind of reach in mind.
Margaret: And that's the thing that's so exciting about all of these sessions - they may all be grounded in the past, but it's impossible to hear about these histories without imagining new futures for indie game making and culture. I bet that's a theme we return to in the next post - how wider perspectives don't just tell us more about what indie game is now, but what it could be next.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — The lawyer for an Army private who sent troves of classified material to WikiLeaks is thanking supporters who gathered outside Maryland's Fort Meade ahead of Pfc. Bradley Manning's court-martial.
David Coombs issued a brief statement on his website Sunday. It reads in part, "On behalf of both myself and Pfc. Manning, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the last three years." He also thanks supporters for raising money and awareness of the case.
Coombs has made few public statements during the Manning case.
Manning's trial is to begin Monday. The 25-year-old Oklahoma native is charged with indirectly aiding the enemy by sending classified material to WikiLeaks. He faces up to life in prison.

Punxsy ninth-graders starting to make strides
PUNXSUTAWNEY — After three tough losses to start the season, the Chucks ninth-grade boys' basketball team picked up its first win of the season with a 31-17 victory over the Brookville Raiders Friday afternoon in Punxsutawney.
The Chucks jumped out to an early lead and were ahead 18-10 at halftime and never looked back, developing their lead even further in the third and fourth quarters.
Overall, Punxsy ninth-grade head coach Brandon Krug was pleased with his team's performance Friday.
"It was nice to see all our guys back and contributing to (Friday's) win," he said. "We have two more games before Christmas, and hopefully, we can pick up two more wins and get back to .500 heading into the break."
The ninth-graders opened their season Friday, Dec. 9, against North Catholic but were unable to overcome their long-distance foe in a 38-21 defeat.
Punxsy trailed by just three points, 15-12, at halftime, but North Catholic outscored the Chucks 23-9 in the second half to earn the win in the season-opener.
"We came out strong in the first quarter, but we quit running our set, and we got into trouble," Krug said.
Adam Ferko was Punxsy's leading scorer in the opener with seven points.
Krug said that after the Chucks eliminated their first-game jitters, his squad seemed more comfortable in its next contest.
That contest was a much closer game, but the DuBois Central Catholic Cardinals were just a bit too much, edging out Punxsy in a 32-31 win last Monday in Punxsutawney.
"The kids played hard, and we had a chance to win at the end," Krug said of his team's performance.
Ryan Sloniger was Punxsy's leading scorer with 11 points.
The Chucks fell to 0-3 with another close loss, 29-23, to the Rovers of Brockway last Wednesday.
Ruben Taylor was Punxsy's top-man with seven points.
Krug was especially pleased with his team's defense in the first three games.
"We have played great defense all year," he said. "We just need to get our offense going."

Mount Union Students and Faculty Travel Abroad, 2011-2012
This past year, more than 60 Mount Union students traveled around the world to pursue coursework through a Direct Exchange program, a USAC program or to complete their student teaching requirement abroad through the Global Student Teaching program. This past summer, 24 students traveled to Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain and Thailand. During the fall and spring semesters, Mount Union students have also studied abroad in Japan, Australia, Canada, Ghana, the Netherlands, China and Poland.
Summer study abroad is a popular option for students who wish to gain experience in a foreign country without leaving campus during the academic year. Kelly Slutz, a Spanish major at Mount Union, traveled to Costa Rica this past summer and thoroughly enjoyed her experience. "My classes were really worthwhile. I learned a lot in my Spanish Conversation class, and we had a lot of fun," she said.
|San Ramon, Costa Rica
Slutz studied the Spanish language, local dance and cuisine, as well as the local environment and links between the environment and poverty. She lived with a host family while in Costa Rica, and like so many students who have studied abroad, agreed that it was one of the most rewarding experiences while there. "I lived with a host family, and they were amazing. That was the part that I was most concerned about going into the program, but it ended up being the best part. They really made me feel comfortable and like a part of the family. I was able to go with them to so many different things, and I really made a lifelong friendship with my host mom. We talked a lot and did a lot of things together, and I still talk to her as much as I can using Skype and Facebook. They really did a good job caring for and understanding me."
Slutz's one complaint about studying abroad during the summer months? "Six weeks was way too short," she said.
|Alicante, Spain
Other Mount Union students who have studied abroad have reported similar experiences. Julie Seman traveled abroad to Kansai Gadai in Japan as part of a Direct Exchange program. She appreciated that her professors at Kansai Gadai balanced their coursework so that students would still have time to explore the country's cultural offerings: "…they gave you just enough work that you learned a good amount while still having the freedom to travel," she said.
Zac Suhar, who studied in Alicante, Spain, encountered a similar experience, "The schoolwork was critical in improving and speaking the Spanish language, but my course load was not very heavy. I took advantage of culture immersion courses as well as cooking and sailing," he said.
Unlike Slutz, Seman stayed in university housing while abroad. "I loved it so much because I met friends from all over the world…" she said. One of Seman's favorite aspects of the study abroad experience was simply the difference in one's daily routine while abroad. "I loved experiencing were different from America. Anything from restaurants, transportation, sight-seeing and even grocery stores were an adventure, even if it was just a little one!"
The advice Seman would give to other Mount Union students? "I would 100% recommend studying abroad to anyone. It was such an amazing, life-changing experience. I learned so much about other cultures and even myself. It was extremely eye-opening!"
|Stephanie Porten at Harry Potter Studios in England
Some students choose to travel to English-speaking countries for their study abroad experience. Stephanie Porten, a writing major at Mount Union, traveled to London this past summer where she studied at Imperial College. While Porten did not technically face a language barrier, she still encountered obstacles. "I found that the culture (and sometimes the language too) is very different from the US and I still got experience as a 'foreigner'. I refer you to the George Bernard Shaw quote "England and America are two countries separated by a common language." I (as well as my program mates) found this to be very true," said Porten.
Despite minor cultural obstacles, Porten agreed that the experience is worth it. When asked if she would recommend study abroad to other Mount Union students, she responded, "Absolutely! Being in another country is an experience that changes your life and your perspective on the world in all sorts of unexpected ways. It's good from an academic standpoint because you're getting different kinds of experiences inside of the classroom. It's good from a cultural perspective because there are some things that you can only learn or pick up on by being in a new environment."
Some students choose not to study abroad because the thought of leaving for a foreign country by oneself is too intimidating. What would our study abroad alums say about that? Lauren Olivier, who studied in Torino, Italy, said, "I was terrified because I didn't know a single person but everyone going to that location is in the same boat and it is a journey. The things that you experience, the friends you make, the people you meet that are absolutely the nicest and most helpful people ever and the thrill of trying something new is worth the temporary fear, because at the end of the journey you will not want to leave to go home."
And one of the best parts of study abroad? Suhar summed up the sentiment of most study abroad alums when discussing the opportunity for travel, "My favorite memory from studying abroad was the amount of traveling I was able to do, and by the end of the spring semester I was able to visit more than seven countries."
Mount Union also sent four faculty members abroad this past summer to teach at various universities. Faculty member Mark McConnell taught in Thailand, Dr. Jim Thoma taught in China, and Dr. Jamie Capuzza and Dr. Ivory Lyons both traveled to India to teach.
|Beijing Sport University
Dr. Thoma, who taught at Beijing Sport University in Beijing, China, taught coursework on International Sports Organizations. He enjoyed seeing the sites and working with his students, though at times there was a language barrier. Some differences he encountered teaching at a foreign university? "The classroom computers are locked so the professor must retrieve a key and unlock the computer before each class."
"Youtube is blocked in China so that good resourse is unavailable," he continued. But concerning the students he taught, Dr. Thoma stated, "Most work very hard as the course is in addition to their normal full load. I have taught there previously so I knew what to expect. Nice people."
Dr. Capuzza traveled to Christ University in Bangalore, India this past summer to teach coursework on Intercultural Communication. Capuzza has traveled to India in the past, and was anxious to return. "India is such a complicated and fascinating country so you definitely need to visit multiple times to even begin to understand and appreciate it," she said.
|Christ University
Should other faculty members teach abroad? Capuzza and Thoma think so. "I think it is imperative that we teach from a global perspective and the best way to do that well as a professor is to have international experiences. When I teach classes like Intercultural Communication or a gender studies class, I can pull from an entire repertoire of examples from many countries because I've been there and have seen it with my own eyes," said Capuzza.
The opportunities for study abroad at Mount Union are endless. Students and faculty have the opportunity to travel to any continent on the planet through programs right here at our university! And summer study abroad experiences provide a convenient, inexpensive way to gain international experience while studying and working at the University of Mount Union!

USAC Promotes Faculty Study Abroad at Mount Union
|Dr. Thoma's class at Beijing Sport University
On Tuesday, October 16, Sabrina Harris from USAC visited the Mount Union campus to encourage our students and faculty to travel abroad.
Faculty who wish to teach abroad have many options. One can teach almost anywhere in the world for a full semester or during the summer or January sessions.
Teaching abroad can provide the opportunity to gain a global perspective on coursework regularly taught at one's home institution and it can also provide the opportunity to tackle new course material. Dr. Jennifer Hall, Director of the Center for Global Education, stated, "Research shows that faculty and staff are critical drivers of global education initiatives. For Mount Union to further internationalize its campus, faculty and staff need professional experiences outside of the U.S."
Applications are now being accepted for the summer of 2014 and for the 2014-2015 academic year. Applications can be found on the Center for Global Education website.
Another unique opportunity for Mount Union faculty is the FIDA grant. This grant allows faculty to "study abroad" themselves. What better way to promote study abroad to students than by describing one's own experience?
The FIDA grant is to be awarded to faculty members who have not had much international experience. The faculty member will travel abroad as a student during a summer session to one of USAC's locations — $1500 is awarded to offset travel costs and USAC tuition is waived.
The faculty member must be contracted to return to campus the following year. The experience lasts anywhere from three to six weeks and includes field trips in the academic program.
Applications are now being accepted and can be found on the Center for Global Education website. The deadline for the Summer 2014 grant application is November 28, 2012.
Tackling Study Abroad Jitters
While some college students can't wait to spread their wings and travel internationally, many shrink at the prospect of leaving home for the first time to live in a foreign country. In fact, that is one of the main reasons students do not take advantage of study abroad while in college.
What many do not realize is that Mount Union students are provided with an outstanding support network during their time abroad. There are directors on site to ensure that their stay is safe and comfortable, and that they have the tools to excel in your coursework. With Skype and other technologies, it has never been so easy to stay in contact with family back home, or with new friends after a student returns.
Many students admit to being nervous before they leave, but as one such student, Lauren Olivier, stated,"...at the end of the journey you will not want to leave to go home."
First International Tea of the 2012-2013 Academic Year
|German International Students present at the tea
The first international tea of the academic year featured Germany and was held on October 26 in the East Room of HPCC.
International Teas are a marvelous opportunity for the Mount Union community to gain knowledge of the culture, history and food of specific countries.
At the German tea, spatzle, German Potato Salad and apple strudel were provided. Attendees even had the opportunity to speak with international students from Germany.
The next International Tea will feature France and will be held on November 16 in HPCC at 4:30 p.m. The tea will feature new French faculty member, Dr. Bertrand Landry.
Info Session Held on Programs in France
An information session was held on October 30 for students interested in studying abroad in France.
|Dr. Landry and students present
Dr. Bertrand Landry spoke about life in France, focusing on French gastronomy. Morgane Bion spoke about the program in Pau, and Prisca Douyere spoke about Rouen, our newest study abroad location in France. Other presenters included Stephanie Hillensbeck and Gus Delawder, both of whom are previous study abroad students from the programs in Pau and Quebec. Dr. Hall, director of the Center for Global Education, hosted the program.
The event was catered by AVI. Ham and chocolate crêpes were served. The event was organized by Alicia Andreani, assistant to the Center for Global Education for Activities.
Students who wish to find out more about the programs in Pau and Rouen can contact the Center for Global Education. Students can also contact Dr. Jennifer Hall, Dr. Bertrand Landry and Alicia Andreani, the French faculty and staff, if they have any questions.
Read Ennouncements and watch for fliers for upcoming information sessions on other country-specific destinations.
International Education Week November 12-16
According to the U.S. Departments of State and Education, "International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide." This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the United States.
We encourage the participation of all individuals and institutions interested in international education and exchange activities, including schools, colleges and universities, embassies, international organizations, businesses, associations, and community organizations. (www.iew.state.gov).
Here at Mount Union, International Education Week began with the International Dinner held November 10 in the HPCC Dining Commons.
Lunch tables will be set up throughout the week to teach students basic French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.
The week will conclude with the International Tea featuring France on Friday, November 16.

Walki Group's Pioneering Passive RFID Antenna Manufacturing Technology Holds Tremendous Market Potential, Notes Frost & Sullivan
The Walki 4E technology can bring a significant and welcome change to the RFID market
Jan 15, 2013, 01:00 EST
LONDON, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent research on the passive radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna production market, Frost & Sullivan has presented Walki Group with the 2012 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation for developing a unique manufacturing technology that lowers material costs and speeds up manufacturing process in an environment friendly manner. The Walki 4E technology involves a dry process of laser patterning paper and aluminum laminate, which drastically reduces the cost factor involved in RFID manufacturing.
Click here for the full multimedia experience of this release - http://bit.ly/VBKQMI
The conventional method deployed by competitors produces RFID antennas through wet etching using wet chemicals. However, Walki Group's pioneering technology is characterized by computer to antenna manufacturing and laser cutting of the antenna. The company uses paper – considered to be one of the best candidates for organic substrates for RFID/sensing applications – as a substrate for its RFID antenna tags. After the laser cuts out patterns from the laminate made of aluminum and paper substrate, the aluminum residue is recycled.
The Walki 4E technology is ten times faster than the benchmark set by its competitors in manufacturing. The digital process also allows each antenna to be different, resulting in very short response time and a considerably higher development cycle. Further, the laser to antenna manufacturing creates accurate geometries. Having good dimensional stability increases repeatability, resulting in increased process yield and production speed.
The computer to antenna production enables small, extremely accurate pattern attainable with laser technology. Walki has a very tight integration with the IC supply chain enabling them to develop small integrated chips (ICs). Having smaller components can help in integrating with even compact devices and gives more flexibility on the design options. The highest frequency obtainable with Walki's antennas is 5.8 GHz, which in effect covers the whole range from low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), ultra high frequency (UHF), and microwave.
"Walki Group's competitors lack the technology advantage to produce RFID tags at such a low cost and high volume platform," notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Saju John Mathew. "The company's unique technology, coupled with its global production and distribution network address every need in mainstream RFID applications with major price reductions."
RFID can have a huge impact in near field communication (NFC) and barcodes, which put together, can be a highly lucrative market. Walki 4E technology can greatly facilitate penetration of NFC antennas into the market on a large scale, primarily because of the low cost. The unique dry process technique enables combining fiber, polymer, plastics, and creating the substrate of the client's choice with up to nine different polymers. This variety of options – not available with Walki Group's competitors – can enable other exploratory applications, where the polymers best fitting the need can be chosen."
Apart from RFID tag antennas, this technology can greatly benefit other applications such as photovoltaics, flexible batteries, flexible circuit boards, heat elements, and mobile handset antennas. Using Walki 4E technology, Walki Group has developed the Walki Pantenna, which is the first UHF RFID antenna that offers extensive possibilities for converting. It can be made of paper or even fabric and printed directly on a label or a hang tag. This easy conversion allows for high volumes delivering extremely efficient and economical production to the end users in applications such as labels, hang tags, and single trip tickets.
Walki 4E technology is an environment friendly process, as there are no chemicals used during its manufacture, and the process residue (metallic aluminum) is directly recyclable. The overall dry, low cost manufacturing process can encourage deploying the technology in markets previously unexplored.
"The low-cost parameter being manifold with Walki Group's technology is definitely a boost to end users, especially in single trip ticketing, tags for library books, ready size labelling and apparel item level tracking," says Mathew. "The Walki Group is able to rapidly provide any number of customised tag antennae, online quality control, and a high level of interactivity that ensures customer satisfaction."
The potential for RFID in existing and emerging applications and replacement for barcodes is quite high; the market potential can be enhanced with wide scale adoption that is enabled by Walki's customer-centric technology. The company, which employs over 1000 people, already has a combined annual net sale exceeding $398 million with production facilities in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, UK, Russia and China, which enables it to easily penetrate major geographies around the world.
Based on all these factors, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present Walki Group with the 2012 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing a technology, which significantly impacts both the functionality and the customer value of new products and applications. The award lauds the relevance of the innovation to the industry.
Frost & Sullivan's Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
About Walki Group
Walki Group Oy, based out of Espoo, Finland is a manufacturer of packaging for metal and paper industries. They have developed a unique technology, Walki 4E, which is able to create passive RFID tags at ten times the conventional benchmark set by industry players.

BEIJING — The men who barged through Shen Jianzhong's door probably thought it was a routine assignment: Break in and beat Shen's family into submission. Forced evictions to make way for real estate development are an everyday occurrence in China, and the family may have seemed no different from any in that situation.
It was only after they forced open the door, threw Shen's wife to the ground and began to beat her that they learned the 38-year-old Shen and his 18-year-old son are kung fu masters.
"I take Bruce Lee very seriously," said Shen in a telephone interview a month after the incident.
Shen says he does not recall exactly what happened during the fight, but an eight-minute video of the aftermath shows seven of the hired hands piled in a motionless heap in Shen's doorway. Blood pools around the cheek of one; another lies halfway through the doorway, crumpled on the curb. Survivors mill about unsteadily on the street, glaring at the camera.
The video, shot by Shen's wife, has attracted nearly a million views and many admiring comments since it was posted online Oct. 30. It has turned Shen into a minor folk hero in China, where many villagers have been forced out of their homes by da shou ("beating hands" in Chinese) who work for real estate developers.

Kingdom Death: Monster booth had amazing previews of the new expansion and Gambler's chest models.
Privateer Press: New Grymkin models are beautiful.
Dota2 Tournament- Only 2 teams showed up, but was tons of fun.
KD:Monster Campaign- we started a People of the Stars campaign that we played at night at our apartment. Awesome story events and mechanics so far.

Travel Guide of St. Barts for: Hotel Le ToinySt. Barts
St. Barts Summary
- Beautiful beaches for surfing (on the windward side) and scuba diving (on the leeward side)
- An exclusive, luxurious vibe with top-notch dining and shopping
- Great weather: little humidity and lots of sun
- Lack of cruise ships keeps the crowds away
- Fresh local seafood
- Very little crime; one of the safest islands in the Caribbean
- Some attractive architecture
- Hotel prices drop drastically during the off season
- Almost everything is expensive
- Direct access to the island is difficult; most visitors take a small plane or a boat (with a rocky ride!) from St. Martin
- Hotel and restaurant reservations can be hard to come by during the high season
- Most stores close at lunchtime (but stay open 'til late in the evening)
- Lots of rain during the off season
St. Barts was severely affected by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. Many businesses, including hotels and resorts, are currently closed and will soon begin the process of recovery and rebuilding. We will update our travel guide as soon as we have more information, and in the meantime, please make travel plans accordingly.
What It's Like
Nicknamed St. Barts, St. Barthelemy in the French West Indies has been a playground to the rich and the famous for several decades. Though the island's first foray into tourism was in the 1960s, the real tourism boom was in the 1980s, and nowadays the well-heeled venture out to St. Barts for its gourmet restaurants, high-end designer shops, secluded beaches, and exclusive location. Celebs such as Jimmy Buffet, David Letterman, and Steve Martin own property on the island and are frequent visitors.
St. Barts, nestled among the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean Sea, was a French colony until 2007 when it officially became a "separate overseas collectivity." French is spoken by many locals (although almost everyone on the island can speak some English) and much of the cuisine has a French flair. This, paired with the fact that almost all food products are imported from France, means meals can be pricey. Seafood, however, including conch -- an island speciality -- is caught locally.
A volcanic island surrounded by reefs, St. Barts is home to 22 public beaches, 15 of which are good for swimming and other water activities. With this plethora of beaches, there seems to be a beach for everyone; the leeward side of the island is home to calmer waters, great for divers and families, while the windward side is a popular spot for wind-surfing and surfing. Both sides have their fair share of nude beaches as well.
The hub of activity on the island can be found in St. Bart's capital, Gustavia. Home to the main harbor, Gustavia has streets lined with high-end shops and restaurants and locals sell homemade wares such as hats and bags make from palm fronds along the streets as well. The capital looks out at the beautiful natural harbor where impressive yachts dock and no harbor on the island is large enough to accomodate cruise ships, a pro for many who enjoy the exclusivity of the island. Some beaches and restaurants can get crowded during the high season (from December to April) but for the most part, St. Barts is a quiet escape for those who can afford the top-notch accomodations.
Where To Stay
There are few hotels on St. Barts, and most are boutique hotels with fewer than 25 rooms; many of these hotels are set up as a cluster of villas, and villa rentals are also a common form of lodging on the island. Most of the hotels on the island are very luxurious and thus very pricey. During the high season (especially around New Year's Eve) rooms book up quickly despite the steep prices, but prices fall drastically by the end of March for those looking for a deal.
- Gustavia: The capital of St. Barts, Gustavia is a quaint (and St. Barts' only) seaport. Narrow streets are lined by historic homes, the harbor is home to tiny fishing boats alongside massive yachts, and there are numerous cafes, art galleries, and shops -- and even a small museum.
- St. Jean: St. Jean is a ritzy, resort town (or as "resort town" as you can get in St. Barts). St. Jean is close to the airport and its beach is a popular spot for water sports like wind-surfing.
- Anse Toiny: Staying on Toiny Beach is a good choice for those looking for a quiet, secluded location. On the windward side, this beach gets plenty of challenging surf so it attracts surfers who come for the waves, not for the posh scene (only those who are very strong swimmers should venture into these waters).
- Anse de Cayes: This beach is also a popular spot for surfers due to the turbulent surf.
- Grand Cul-de-Sac: Grand Cul-de-Sac has that resort-like vibe as well. The beach is lined by high-end bistros with fabulous views and water sports have become a popular pastime.
- Lorient: The small town of Lorient is peaceful, with a locals' beach (although tourists are always welcome) and some attractive historic buildings. Its graveyard is a popular spot to visit, as many of the graves are adorned with bright decorations.

Eagles' fast-paced offense runs past SEM
Establishing the running game is head coach Andy Seamann's goal each time the Eagles take the field.
Friday night, that established running game added up 215 yards in the 54-22 handling of Sumner-Eddyville-Miller.
"We watched film on them and had an idea that we could attack them on the ground," Seamann said. "As a team we did a good job of staying on our blocks and making people miss."
The Eagles made the game look too easy as they scored 40 points in the first quarter.
Seamann said the success on their early drives led to an increased confidence in the guys as they continued to gain bunches of yards.
The Eagles tried something different against SEM, Seamann said. The first two offensive series were scripted, and the no huddle offense on the second drive was great, he said.
Jon Taullie received a pass and ran in the first touchdown of the game and the Eagles were on their way.
"The kids really played well when they knew what was going to be called and had a sense of what was going on," Seamann said. "We will continue to script some series so they can play with confidence.
No one showed more confidence than quarterback Trevor Mann.
Mann threw for 131 yards and two touchdown completing nearly 80% of his passes. He also led the team in rushing with 84 yards and a touchdown.
"Trevor had a great week of practice building up to the game," Seamann said. "We made sure his first couple passes were ones that he could complete and gain confidence with."
Cody Warren ran in three touchdowns in the first half, all from fairly short yardage.
Just before halftime, Chase Viter caught a pass from Mann who found him all alone in the endzone.
Brady would score one more touchdown in the third quarter before Seamann sent in the reserves.
SEM managed to score 22 points in the fourth quarter while the reserves scored a touchdown of their own.
The Eagles face their first district opponent next week when they host Medicine Valley, a team who made it deep into the playoffs last season.
"They are a good team that has had our number the last couple meetings," Seamann said.
Brady will try to use more no huddle and go even more uptempo than they did against SEM, Seamann said.
"Our first few plays will be scripted and we will go from there."
Seamann added that this game was important and that the kids understand what a win would mean for their season.
"We didn't hardly talk about the win after beating SEM," Seamann said. "We knew we had to start looking ahead to this week."

Summer vacation is right around the corner, and as the temps heat up, the last thing you want to do is wear your hair down. Or wash it. Or basically do anything with it at all.
More: 9 Styles That Are Perfect For Second-Day Hair
Enter: the halo braid. There are a ton of variations, but we love this circular, French-braided version. It only takes about 5 minutes to pull off, and works best on second (or third...or fourth...) day hair. Check out the super simple step-by-step tutorial below!
1. Create a side part, and start French braiding on the thicker side of hair.
2. Continue the French braid all the way around your head. Use your hands to guide it in a circular motion, especially as you get to the other side. You want it to wrap up around the other side, rather then head down towards your shoulder.
3. Once you run out of hair to add into the French, finish off with a regular three-strand braid.
4. Wrap the end of your hair around the top of your head to finish the circle. Tuck the ends under, and use bobby pins to secure it in place.
For an even more summer-y feel, try adding a flower crown or spray-on hair chalk after you're finished!
Are you loving this halo braid? What warm-weather hairstyles are you rocking now? Tweet @seventeenmag your #goodhairday pics!

Rhode Island Church Records
United States Rhode Island Church Records
Before 1900 the largest religious groups in Rhode Island were the Baptist, Congregational, Methodist, Protestant Episcopal, and Roman Catholic. Many of the early settlers were members of the Society of Friends.
Some records of the Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, and Society of Friends churches are published in volumes 7 to 11 of James Arnold, The Vital Records of Rhode Island (see Rhode Island Vital Records). A list of churches and the types of records available in 1941 is Guide to the Church Vital Statistics in the State of Rhode Island (Providence: Historical Records Survey, 1941; Family History Library book 974.5 V2h; film 982351 item 2; fiche 6046673).

Why not wash less?
Every day hotels around the world use millions of gallons of water to wash towels and bed sheets that have only been used once. To help keep some of this H2O in our lakes where it belongs, we give all our guests the option of reusing their towels.
Sure, it may seem like a small gesture, but according to the Alliance for Water Efficiency based on a hotel with 250 rooms at 80 percent occupancy, a hotel could annually save up to 220,000 gallons of water through a towel/linen reuse program.
So don't throw in the towel just yet–consider putting it back on the rack and help us stay green.

Fried Oysters with Saffron Aioli
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Fried oysters are a real treat. Until recently I thought of them as a food only to bought "out". I discovered the lure of the oyster fried at home and haven't looked back. I have tried both pre-shucked oysters (better than no oyster) and ones shucked to order (by me) for frying. There is no doubt that the home-shucked oyster yields a better result. However, if all you have is oysters by the pint, it's better than going without. I use a 50/50 blend of olive oil and canola to fry these babies. —Savorykitchen
Food52 Review: There are few foods more sumptuous than a well-fried oyster. Add a dab of homemade lemon and saffron-infused mayonnaise, a cold beer and some sunshine, and you've got yourself a party. Savorykitchen's oysters are delicately coated in a fine mix of Wondra and spices, ensuring that the oyster doesn't turn leathery waiting on a thick batter to cook through. The fragrant aioli perks up the flavor so that you get succulence, crunch and creamy tang all in one bite. -A&M —The Editors
Serves: 12 oysters
Saffron Aioli
pinches saffron
tablespoon boiling water
egg yolk
cup olive oil
cup canola oil
salt and pepper
- In a medium bowl, steep the saffron in the water for a minute. Put the oils in a measuring cup or small pitcher. Add the egg yolk to the bowl and beat with a whisk or electric mixer (handheld mixer). With the mixer running, or while whisking madly, drizzle the oil in slowly until the mixture starts to thicken. Once it's begins to thicken, you can increase the speed at which you add the oil. When all the oil has been added, add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Fried Oysters
oysters, shucked
1 1/2
cups Wondra flour
teaspoon cayenne
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoon ground pepper
oil for deep frying
- Heat 2" of oil in a deep saucepan, wok, or deep skillet to 325 degrees.
- While the oil is heating combine the flour, cayenne, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss the oysters in the flour mixture.
- When the oil reaches 325 , fry half the oysters until golden - about 4 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Let the oil return to 325 and fry the remainder of the oysters.
- Sprinkle oysters with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Serve with saffron aioli.
